Q. There was a very unfortunate incident where a very Choshuve Ben Torah, an extremely close personal acquaintance of mine, needed to walk between two women. He gently placed his arm on the shoulder of a 9 year old Frum boy and asked him to walk together with him. This led to his arrest on kidnapping charges. Could Horav Miller comment on the Halachos pertaining to this incident?
This Yungerman told me personally that while he was davening the Amidah in the police precinct, the police wanted to move him to a different location and were screaming at him and tapping him. What is the Halacha if one may respond to them? Should he sue them?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that suing will likely just create a Chilul Hashem. He should settle with a very merited apology.
